Pasta with Oven Roasted Onion and Swiss Chard

I got the idea to make a "fancy dinner" for DR since I've been slacking in the kitchen. So I got out my copy of The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen (mostly vegan - a fantastic book!) and made pasta with oven roasted onion and swiss chard. For interest, I added some carrots that I also roasted in the oven. It was really tasty! What I love about this cookbook is that all the recipes (well, most) are vegan, including the baked goods, and they are "fancy" in a "I can bust this out in an hour for dinner with minimal effort" kind of way.

Peaking out in the corner is a loaf of fresh bread I made. I just I was feeling quite adventurous.

Fast Fresh Vegan

Fast: If I make it for dinner during the week, it's fast enough for me!

Fresh: I generally avoid prepackaged "faux" products.

Vegan: Because it's how I roll.

Me: Graduate student instructor, vegan, and kitchen gadget fool.

Warnings: Currently doing the "dissertation" and teaching a full load, so the blog may be sporadic for a while. I might also tend to post several "days" at once while making it look like multiple postings. Heh heh. :D
